EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam)/Queen Mother Library is proud and honored to announce the “Cultural Diplomacy Forum” for 2023.
The Cultural Diplomacy Forum for 2023 is a 2-day seminar bringing together experts in the fields of Cambodian and international diplomacy, leadership, culture, and history to support the professional development of a selected group of Cambodian youth who have been responsive to the call to public service for the Cambodian People. Seventy-five (75) Cambodian youth have been selected out of a total of 1,500 Cambodian youth who have been responsive to serve with DC-Cam’s youth volunteer program, CamboCorps. Awardees were selected based on their meritorious volunteer service in CamboCorps and a demonstrated interest in future public service leadership in Cambodia and the world.
Documentation Center of Cambodia
DC-Cam was originally established by Yale University’s Cambodia Genocide Program in 1995, pursuant to the U.S. Cambodian Genocide Justice Act of 1994. Since 1997, the DC-Cam has operated as an independent civil society organization in Cambodia. The Center is the world’s largest archive of historical material on the genocide committed by the Khmer Rouge regime, and it has supported the work of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) (a U.N.-Cambodian court) in the prosecution of those most responsible for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity committed between 1975 and 1979. The Center is an independent, not-for-profit, non-governmental organization that is acknowledged as a nonpartisan educational institute in Cambodia. DC-Cam’s two main objectives –memory and justice – serve to build the foundation for the rule of law and Cambodia’s national reconciliation.
